    Default Where to find shipping boxes??

    Does anyone know where pachislo vendors get their shipping boxes from? I wish I had saved all the boxes that my machines came in. I doubt a place like U-Haul would have them for sale in that size/durability. If anyone has purchased these boxes for shipping, can you please let me know where you found them? Thank you!

    Most moving companies will sell you a clothing wardrobe double wall carboard shipping box . It has Tons of space and a new one cost , at last check $10 and a Used one they wanted $5 and thats in Monterey, California it cost more to live here than in Hawai .
    When things don't go right the 1st time , Step back ,Take a break and come back renewed. RGS

    I'm guessing it would be easiest to just order some from somewhere like Uline..

    It looks like most of their 36x24x-- boxes only have a 5 box minimum..All the Uline boxes I've used have been good, although I've never bought any for pachis...They aren't always the cheapest so hit up google, there's about a billion online places to get boxes!!

    I pick up used boxes from my local bicycle shop. I usually contact them the day prior so that they don't break them down. I find most bicycle boxes are the perfect size for shipping a pachinko machine.

    I use Bike boxes as well... (for Pachinko)

    but i cut them apart and make them shorter and wider so i can get a bit more pading in front and behind the machines...

    if you buy boxes make sure ua dont buy boxes to big for shipping... then you paying for oversized shipping... and that will cost ya...

    Bike boxes are allready made for ups and fed-ex standards so i know im good to go for size...
